Bobby & Jamie Deen
Hundreds of patrons line up everyday in front of the The Lady and Sons restaurant in Savannah for just a glimpse of their mother Paula Deen. But Bobby and Jamie Deen have become stars in their own right. Always heavily involved in their mom's ventures such as her show "Paula's Home Cooking" or co-authoring her bestseller "Just Desserts," the Deen brothers have developed their own fan base.
In summer 2006, the duo will launch A food and travel show on the Food Network called "Two For The Road". Traveling the country to highlight small businesses, Bobby and Jamie will educate viewers on how to find unique and interesting products that are rarely available. All products showcased on "Two For The Road," are available on the Internet and can be ordered easily.
The two brothers grew up in humble circumstances. With only two hundred dollars, the Deens launched a home-based lunch delivery service called The Bag Lady in June 1989. The business model was simple: their mother Paula Deen made the sandwiches, and they went out and sold it.
Two years later, with The Bag Lady growing too much for a home-based operation, the Deens opened their first restaurant on Savannah's Southside called The Lady and within five years, The Lady also became too successful for such a small space with limited seating. On January 1996, the Deens moved -- what had started as tuna fish sandwiches wrapped in saran wrap had become a downtown stable in Savannah's City
Market. The Lady and Sons could now open her doors to faithful customers, celebrity clientele and thousands of Savannah visitors seeking out Deen's world famous fried chicken.
Bobby and Jamie Deen are currently working on a cookbook together while managing The Lady and Sons. Both reside in Savannah, Georgia.
